HistoryEdit
While fleeing for his life from South American savages, young archaeologist Adam Strange found himself struck by the Zeta-Beam, a beam of energy sent from the planet Rann in hopes of communicating with the people of Earth. But its journey through space altered the transmission beam and it somehow teleported Strange to Rann, 4.5 light-years from Earth. There, Earth's first interstellar spaceman met the lovely Alanna and her scientist-father, Sardath, who soon taught Strange both the language and the ways of their strange, alien world. Rann is a planet of contradictions. Some of its divided city-states possess science far in advance of Earth, while other exist in almost barbaric splendor. Here, where no Earthman had ever walked before, Adam Strange became Rann's first citizen and savior, for his quick, keen mind saved his adopted world time after time from alien invasion, internal warfare and natural disaster. Adam quickly fell in love with young Alanna and ultimately married her. But despite Adam's love for his wife and her world, he cannot remain on Rann for long, for the zeta-beam energy, set at different pulses, eventually wears off, and when it does, Strange is returned to his home planet. Adam must then calculate where the next zeta-beam will strike -only below the Equator-and intercept it before it's gone.
